Sermons citing 1 Corinthians 12:14–27

^12:16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

^12:17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

^12:18 But in fact, God has arranged the members of the body, every one of them, according to His design.

^12:19 If they were all one part, where would the body be?

^12:20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.

^12:21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I do not need you.” Nor can the head say to the feet, “I do not need you.”

^12:22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,

^12:23 and the parts we consider less honorable, we treat with greater honor. And our unpresentable parts are treated with special modesty,

^12:24 whereas our presentable parts have no such need. But God has composed the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it,

^12:25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its members should have mutual concern for one another.

^12:26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.

^12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.
